Join our drawing class focused on contour techniques that enhance your artistic vision. We often depict objects based on perception instead of reality. By learning to closely observe objects, particularly features like eyes, noses, and mouths, you'll improve your ability to represent them accurately. We'll practice softer line techniques to create smoother shadows and refined gradations of light. Engage in fun exercises, including using unconventional tools like a toothpick for scratch art. Elevate your skills by accurately drawing from life and using shading techniques with various pencil hardness.

These lines are much softer, and made with much less pressure from your hand. They are used to create smoother shadows and more gradual shifts between different shades of dark and light. A contour is the line which defines a form or edge - an outline. Contour drawing is the place where most beginners start, following the visible edges of a shape. The contour describes the outermost edges of an object, as well as dramatic changes of plane within it. CONTOUR Sketch
